This book has basically 5 very detailed lessons. After I went through them with my kids ages 5-6 we started drawing animals photographed in DK science books. Their ability to draw improved visibly and they produced some fantastic artwork unhindered by a sense of self consciousness that is common in older children. (It's a little bit harder to draw things out of our earth science textbook, so now we have moved on to other kinds of art)

Rebecca and I sat down for an hour today for our first drawing lesson. Our first activity was mostly to play with our new markers. Rebecca loved it. She insisted on adding hearts to everything. I think this book will help her also to listen very carefully to instructions. Hopefully we'll both be drawing beautifully by the end of the summer!

I always wanted to be able to draw- even just to be able to doodle during meetings or draw on the placemats in a restaurant. This book helped me do just that; I actually bought art pencils and paper and drew animals that looked like the real animals... I won't ever be an artist, but I do enjoy trying to draw a lot more after using this book!

This is a great book to learn the value of drawing what you really see and learning to place importance in spatial relationsips when drawing. There is a little jump some places from one stage to the next, but the basics are there.

in depth, step-by-step instructions on how to teach drawing (not that i've come anywhere close to mastering it myself, but this book gives me hope that it's possible!)

Good at building confidence, not especially user-friendly, not enough on its own. A good start, though.

Although it doesn't go far enough, it's a good start. Reread in 1990.
